In this episode: Emily’s conversation with David Crane, the former CEO of NRG.

Today, David is a clean energy investor. Back in 2015, he was CEO of NRG, one of the biggest power producers in America. And he was fired by his board for his ambitious plan to make the company a renewable energy titan.

This conversation was recorded in 2019 in front of a live audience at Powerhouse’s headquarters in Oakland, CA.
